Why is women's healthcare still years behind — and what can we do about it?

In this powerful episode of The Gayu Lewis Podcast, I sit down with Sophie Smith, Founder and CEO of Nabta Health, to unpack the uncomfortable truth: the healthcare system was never built with women in mind. From misdiagnosed conditions like PCOS and endometriosis to lack of access to culturally relevant care across the Middle East and Africa — this conversation is a wake-up call for anyone who cares about women’s health.

We go deep into:

• Why women are still misdiagnosed and unheard
• The silent crisis in managing chronic conditions like PCOS and infertility
• How cultural taboos hold women back from seeking help
• What needs to change — and how Nabta Health is leading that revolution
• The future of healthcare, AI, and personalized diagnostics
• The personal story that led Sophie to build a female-focused health platform

If you’re tired of the system ignoring women — this episode is for you.
